Re: GUI App vs CLI App - Speed

GUI applications generally have a lot going on behind the scenes: message loop, event passing, object hierarchy, widget drawing, etc. But CLI apps are generally pretty straight-forward: you get it, do your business, and get out. One thing I've noticed though, is that writing a lot of output from a CLI app will slow it down, at least on Windows. A lot of my various data-processing scripts in Euphoria run much faster when they're not writing to the console. (This could also be due to the way Euphoria handles the console on Windows.)
